Windshield cleaning

BWAL · August 10th, 2009, 10:27 AM

it might be dust that is making it streak. clean it real good with water first before you use a cleaning product on it

When i get done cleaning mine, i can see an asston of scratches and nicks and dings and shit. It sucks, and its really noticeable. If its bad id say get a new one, but just make sure the new blades dont do it again

YOu know those cheap ass microfiber pads from Autozone? Use the Yellow one (or blue). You'll need two of them AT LEAST.

Take your product (Invisible Glass, Windex, IPA, etc.) and drench one of the pads. Now, spray the area of glass (do rear glass and windshield in halves) with your product and go in up/down, side/side motions. Now before that dries quickly take the dry pad and wipe the residue up. After it all up, flip the dry pad over and rewipe it.

Repeat if streaking happens, but use another dry pad. The dry pad is key. Otherwise it will streak.

I bought those 25$ bosch wiper blades. If they scratch im driving my car through the manufacturing plant.

I used dry pad, sprayed windshield, and wiped off. Worked great.

Rain X wiper blades FTW

IF they scratch your windshield and if you have a PC 7424 or equivalent you can get glass polishing pads and the diamondite stuff. I'd use that as a last resort though.

Whatever works man

I've had great success with the above method.

I've always used stoner's invisible glass, and newspaper. The streaks will almost always be a problem if you clean glass when it's hot and/or in direct sunlight. I only clean the glass when it's cool and in the shade. Same as washing a car, not supposed to do it in direct sunlight, and the surface should always be cool to the touch.

This is key.

And Rain X wipers !! Best wipers I've ever used. I almost got the Bosch's cuz it came with a free little drill set thingy from Advanced ($30 value supposedly) I passed for some reason... meh.

sometimes reading the instructions on the back of the products helps a little.

Good choice. Have always used Bosch Excel+ wiper blades on my MCSS and Z71. Probably won't need to replace the ones on the Mustang, never seen the rain, but if I do they'll also be Bosch.

trueblue02GT · August 11th, 2009, 03:40 AM

i've been using invisible glass with rain repellent in the spray bottle. it kind of sucks.

I just found it interesting how women joke how men don't ever read the instructions. We obviously do, hell most of the time it's common sense. Besides who do they think wrote them.

This is why women should have never been aloud to work, read, write, or have rights. Period.

They make crappier sammich's each generation.

Ahahaa. I still like me a sammich, I didn't make that ish.

It'd be woman. So, now we know you aren't a woman, you don't drive a V6, and you don't teach English.
